He has won the French open in 2005,2006,2007,2008,2010,2011,2012 and 2013 He won Wimbledon twice and Australian and US open once each. How he can be deemed world number 5 is ludicrous.
I disagree i think both Sampras and Federer were better players at their peak. Sampras especially was immense. Nadal is a great player but aside from clay I cannot see his record beating that or Sampras or Federer, both of which were better all round players.
I personally prefer Nadal's style but agree with this wholeheartedly.
